Gross Work Outfits
The work-from-home revolution may have skipped China, but that hasn’t stopped the country’s young white-collar workers from going goblin mode on the job. The latest trend in Chinese office wear is the “gross work outfit” — a look that makes even business casual seem classy. But between endless overtime and long commutes, young Chinese have little interest in — and even less patience for — stale workplace dress codes. So the next time you want to complain about a coworker pairing a fuzzy sweater with a down vest or showing up to the office in layered long johns, just remember: This meeting almost certainly could have been an email.
